Cupcini, Chetroșica Nouă and Stolniceni: a strong partnership for a modern and efficient sanitation service in northern Moldova
On September 26, 2025, the Municipality of Cupcini hosted an important event for the community – the signing of the Grant Agreement within the “MĂ IMPLIC” project, funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by SKAT. The event officially marked the collaboration between the municipalities of Cupcini, Chetroșica Nouă and Stolniceni, forming Intercommunal Partnership #3 aimed at developing a joint solid waste management service for the benefit of local citizens.
The partnership was established as a response to the need to modernize the existing sanitation service, expand coverage, and implement solutions adapted to the local context.
What do the three LPAs aim to achieve??
✔️ Equip the intercommunal operator with modern equipment: collection trucks, bins, containers and a baling press;
✔️ Set up waste collection platforms and temporary storage areas;
✔️ Install a video monitoring system to prevent illegal dumping;
✔️ Strengthen the organizational capacity of the municipal enterprise;
✔️ Run awareness campaigns on selective waste collection and environmental protection.
Total estimated investment: 6,040,150 MDL:
4.82 million MDL – non-reimbursable funding from the Government of Switzerland, through the “MĂ IMPLIC” project
1.21 million MDL – local contribution from the three municipalities
Through this project, the municipalities of Cupcini, Chetroșica Nouă and Stolniceni have committed to a shared vision – to build a reliable and sustainable waste management service that serves the citizens of the three localities efficiently and equitably.
These investments will help raise sanitation standards, reduce environmental risks, and foster civic responsibility among residents.
These interventions are part of the “MĂ IMPLIC” Project – a civic engagement project in local governance, funded by the Swiss Government and implemented by SKAT.
📌 We remind you that 14 groups of local public authorities (LPAs) from Moldova will benefit from stronger local governance and improved access to quality public services, thanks to the support of the MĂ IMPLIC Project, funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by SKAT.
The main objective of the MĂ IMPLIC Project is to contribute to the strengthening of local governance and to increase people’s access to better public services. The project provides support to local authorities and citizens in improving local administration, strategic planning, and the delivery of public services.
This initiative will bring direct benefits to approximately 106,000 citizens from the partner communities.
